From June:
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ve already met our crazy dog, Winston. Yesterday I picked up a $3 stuffed duck from Big Lots, and gave it to him last night. OMG. He is obsessed with this stuffed duck.… Read More
5am – time for bed!
I gotta say, the Bead & Button Show may just do me in this year. I am making so many kits. And I am so tired. And there’s only 22 more days until the show begins. That may seem like a long time to you – but I’m barely a quarter of the way through the kit making.… Read More
No fun without photos
As I’ve been reading through all the various blogs I follow, I realized how stingy I’ve been lately with photos! But here’s the thing: first off, I haven’t been beading! No new designs in ages. I do have a bunch of ideas and partial bits and pieces floating around, but until I spend a few days beading, I got nuthin’.… Read More
One bead…two beads…
My life has become a massive assembly line. For the next 27 days, I will be consumed by the myriad of mindless tasks that constitute kit assembly. My brain gets a workout only as I’m trying to calculate how much of what goes into which baggie, and trying to make sure everything is getting done.… Read More
Been there, done that
I’m home! Since we last talked, I flew off to Denver and arrived in the middle of a seriously lousy spring storm. My favorite part was when the rental car lady sent me to the LAST car in the LAST row for my own vehicle as 35mph winds and driving rain pelted me in the 34 degree temperatures (can’t even imagine what the wind chill was.)… Read More

This was certainly one of the more interesting shows I’ve attended in the last few years for a number of reasons.… Read More
Miami madness
And the show hasn’t even begun!
I flew to Miami with no troubles on Wednesday night, and man do I feel lucky! Everyone I know who flew in on Thursday had delayed planes, missed connections, and all sorts of traveling mishaps.… Read More

Maybe it was worth it
From June:
Maybe it was worth breaking my foot moving the stones to build this planter. It’s just started blooming and is covered in buds.
Workedy work
I’ve had my head down, avoiding distractions (mostly) trying to get massive piles of work shoveled out the door. There’s been progress, but there’s always more sneaking in when I’m not looking!
So I have this crazy spreadsheet where I’ve calculated out how many of each kit I want to make before Bead & Button, and how much of each kind of bead I need for that number of kits, and the volume is pretty scary!… Read More
